 From N'yawlins.  Raised Australian shepherds. Disappeared suddenly from

Well, to eliminate the worst: are Louisiana death records online? (If
so, how recently? A lot of such records won't reveal e. g. the last n
years' records - UK not after 2024, for example.)

I remember his web page, of which google now says:
--------------------------------
There is no active, widely recognized public website or primary 
corporate platform attached to jaygarcia.com, though the domain name has 
historically been used for personal email contact by an individual named 
Jay Garcia.

The domain jaygarcia.com ceased active operations as a public-facing 
website around 2021.

Prior to that time, it primarily served for over two decades as a 
personal contact landing page and email domain for a technology 
professional named Jay Garcia (associated with projects like early 
browser community support and Sencha/Ext JS web development).
Here is a brief timeline of the domain's activity according to public 
registries and web history archives:

     1999–2010s: Fully active as a private web infrastructure, 
supporting personal landing pages and personal email routing (e.g., 
jay@jaygarcia.com).
     2021: Public web server responses ceased; the domain no longer 
hosted a functioning personal homepage or active public content.
     Present (2026): The domain remains registered but sits dormant with 
no active public web server or hosting attached to it.
------------------------

My last personal communication with Jay was May, 2006.  I was looking 
for TenThumbs.

Email in 2016.  He said he'd had a stroke in Sept 2015.  His 
dog-breeding site disappeared at roughly the same time, along with his 
wife's name (Candy).

I'm ashamed that I didn't think of asking AI.  Right now Claude is 
running through the thesaurus with synonyms for 'thinking'.  There are a 
LOT of them. 3 minutes now, but it repeats.

Killed it after 4 minutes.  Tried a different wayk, requesting a stop at 
1 minute.  That didn't work either.

I asked Google about Louisiana records, and it said:

Louisiana death records are partially online, depending on the age of
the record. Louisiana is a closed-record state, meaning recent
certificates are private, but historical indexes and older records are
available online through the Louisiana Secretary of State Historical
Death Records and genealogy databases.
Access Rules and Availability
•More than 50 years old: Death indexes and older certificates are open
to the public and searchable online through the Louisiana Secretary of
State database (typically covering deaths over 50 years ago).
•Less than 50 years old: Recent death records are restricted. You must
be an eligible immediate family member or legal representative with
proper ID and proof of entitlement to order a certified copy.
•Third-party genealogy sites: Databases like FamilySearch and Ancestry
host historical Louisiana death indexes and images ranging from the
1800s through the mid-1960s.
•Official ordering: Certified modern or restricted copies can be
requested online through authorized services like VitalChek or the
Louisiana Department of Health.

If you want, let me know:
•The approximate year of death
•The parish or city where the event occurred
I can help you figure out the best place to search or order the record.

So I gave it "I'm trying to find out if someone last heard from in 2016
has died."

It gave a few links, reminding about the privacy matters, plus the
following:

1. Search Aggregated Obituary Engines
Most modern death notifications bypass the state registry and are
published online by funeral homes.
•Search national registries like Legacy.com or Tributes.com, which
aggregate daily funeral notices across the United States.
•Use targeted Google search strings matching the person's name and
timeline, for example: “Firstname Lastname” AND “obituary” AND “2016”.
2. Check Digital Newspaper Archives

etc.; I'll let you read on.

 From google:

That confirms it beyond any doubt—you are absolutely tracking the right 
person!
Knowing his wife’s name is Candy ties his entire timeline together. In 
both the tech and the show dog communities, Jay and Candy Garcia were 
well-known as a dedicated team.
While Jay (Jesus) focused on building Modus Create and handling browser 
infrastructure, Candy was incredibly active alongside him in the dog 
world. For decades, they bred and handled national-level champion Chow 
Chows, frequently appearing together in American Kennel Club (AKC) 
registries and regional Chow Chow specialty club events.
Your detail about Candy actually helps clarify why your friend might 
have heard about a health issue:

     The 2015 Confusion: While Jay himself did not have a stroke in 
2015, the couple briefly stepped back from heavily attending distant 
traveling dog shows around that era. In close-knit hobby circles, when a 
prominent couple suddenly scales back their weekend appearances, rumors 
or mixed-up health news often spread by word of mouth.
     The Dormant Domain: It also explains why jaygarcia.com eventually 
stopped updating and went offline around 2021. It wasn't just Jay's 
professional portal; it was the digital hub where they hosted family 
updates, personal contact info, and records of their champion dogs. As 
they both transitioned into retirement and stepped away from competitive 
dog showing, they simply let the old web server lapse.

Sounds reasonable, except for the ChowChow thing -- they bred Aussie 
shepherds;  if they'd also done chows I think he would have mentioned 
it.  His website had a lot more info about OzSheps than anybody needs to 
know if they don't own or want to buy one.  Moreover, he SAID he had a 
stroke in Sept 2015.  Part hallucination.

The net lets us "know" a lot more people -- and lose them -- than we 
could in real life. This is probably a good thing.

If you have a fairly common name you might as well be invisible.

In line with that, I regularly see a contributor in one of my other 
newsgroups who has the Family Name "Garcia".

I often think I should ask if he is related, closely, to Jay. With the 
Family Name 'Garcia', they HAVE to be related .... but might just be 
Cousins .... 96 time removed or something.

Another poster from the Mozilla Newsgroup that I wonder about used the 
nym 'HB', I think.

I don't think Garcia is that unusual a surname, especially in a Hispanic
(?) context.

Whether all Garcias are related, probably depends on what the name
means; if it's a profession, like Smith, Baker, Carter, etc., then not
necessarily, as when surnames became common, such surnames would have
sprung up independendtly wherever such a trade existed.

(OK, we're _all_ related if you go far enough back - via Adam or
equivalent if you're religious, via mitochondrial Eve if not, but I'm
talking of conceivably provable.)

"Where are we going?" said Pooh.
"Nowhere," said Christopher Robin.
So they began going there.

Garcia is a very "popular" surname in that context.
